A note I received today:
Grand Master,
Thank you for your time and conversation. I have been out of the country on business and leave again this evening and will not be back for two weeks. Partially business and the remainder due to very ill parent in XXXXXXX.
My wife and I have been to XXXXXXX a minimum of 10 times this year and we may be moving down shortly as care takers. I must say, speaking with you has given me pause about my decision. I will try to get in contact with the Secretary tonight and send him past dues. I
am thinking I will put my decision off for retraction from the lodge
until we can get our life back in order.
For now thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule just to contact me. This small gesture meant more than you might think to me.
A Grateful Brother
